Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

For a significant production process, either establish the process and area layout or review and make recommendations on an existing process. In either case:

identify/confirm production area objectives

determine production staffing and resource requirements

establish the area layout and process

monitor and review achievements

document the outcomes

Communicate and consult effectively with team members, management and user departments

Resource implications

The resources should relate specifically to the business policies, procedures and range of products and equipment. Resources may include:

the business environment

relevant documentation

legislation and statutory requirements

industry codes of practice

OHS legislation, regulations and codes of practice

access to a work team

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

research, collect, organise and understand information related to production processes and area layout, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of work with managers and supervisors, workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area, dimensions and flow, and estimate material requirements

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate production processes and area layout problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to production processes and area layout, including machinery, tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

process engineering techniques and systems

production and manufacturing processes applicable to the product

materials handling techniques and options

equipment and machines to be used to achieve business outcome

business processes used in workplace

resource availability, including competencies of individuals in the team/group

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Unit scope

This unit covers the work involved in establishing the production processes and area layout in the furnishing industry

The unit may require workflow analysis, planning and modification in a new or existing plant layout situation

The function is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures and practices may include requirements recommended by manufacturers

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

Workplace environment

Work may involve individual and team related activities and will normally relate to the standard forms of activity performed in the enterprise and industry

Work is performed with minimal supervision or direction

Customers or suppliers may be internal or external

Machines/equipment may include:

any machine typically used in the furnishing industry

microprocessor or computer-controlled machines

both production and facility equipment used in the enterprise

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

hand tools

other equipment

Materials to be used may include but are not limited to:

timber

metal alloys

fabric

glass

plastics and a full range of consumables required for production

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Work procedures/instructions

Manufacturers' specifications and instructions

Standard forms of workplace process and layout

Organisation work specifications and requirements

Legislation/regulation/national and industry codes and practices relevant to the product

Quality and Australian standards and procedures

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
